John,

COVID-19 has laid bare just how undervalued and underfunded child care, care for aging adults, and support for people with disabilities are, and that has disproportionately impacted Black and Brown families.

Caring Across Generations and other experts will be exploring these issues, and proposing solutions, in a virtual Congressional Briefing on Race, Racism and Care Infrastructure on August 13th, at 1 p.m. ET.

RSVP now to secure your place for this groundbreaking briefing.

In this briefing, we will dive into the systemic racism inherent in our care system, and the investments we must make now to make care jobs good jobs, create security and success for Black and Brown families, and to fuel a swift and just economic recovery.

We are lucky to be joined by a number of amazing individuals and organizations, including:

• Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-D);
• Congresswoman Deb Haaland (NM-D);
• Ai-jen Poo, Co-Director of Caring Across Generations (CAG) and Director of National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA),
• Josephine Kalipeni, CAG Policy Director and Federal Affairs;
• Katherine Gallagher Robbins, Director of Child Care and Early Learning at Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP);
• Aimée-Josiane Twagirumukiza, NDWA We Dream in Black (WeDiB) Director; and
• Azza Altiraifi, Research and Advocacy Manager, Disability Justice Initiative, Center for American Progress (CAP)

The event will be streamed at the Caring Across Generations Facebook Live, and you do not need a Facebook account to join in!

RSVP now to get a reminder email before this deep and thoughtful conversation.

We look forward to seeing you virtually on Thursday, August 13th!

With care,

Charlotte Dodge
